6-41 Installing the Driver To copy the driver file to the OS/2 directory on your boot drive: 1. Place the OS/2 SSD in the floppy drive. 2. From the OS/2 command prompt, type: A:\addarray c: The CPQARRAY.ADD driver file will be copied to the x:\os2 directory (where x is the boot drive) and any existing driver will be renamed CPQARRAY.OLD. The CONFIG.SYS file will be updated to load this driver first on boot. This means that the first drive on this controller is the boot drive. 3. If you do not want to boot from a drive on this controller; for instance, if you wanted to boot from a drive attached to the integrated SCSI controller, you must manually change the CONFIG.SYS file before you reboot the server. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file to reorder the BASEDEV=CPQARRAY.ADD statement so that it appears after the BASEDEV statement corresponding to the boot driver. 4. Save the updated CONFIG.SYS file and exit the editor. 5. Perform a normal system shutdown and reboot the server to load the new driver. Controller Ordering There are two factors that determine controller ordering under IBM OS/2: 1. The order in which the ADD driver appears in the CONFIG.SYS file determines how each type of controller is ordered relative to other types of controllers. Each type of controller that a single ADD driver controls will be grouped together. The first ADD driver to appear in the CONFIG.SYS file will have its controllers ordered first, the second ADD driver will have its controllers ordered after the first driver, etc. SMART-2DH Array Controller Reference Guide Writer: Pamela King Project: SMART-2DH Array Controller Reference Guide Comments: 295469-002 File Name: G-CH06.DOC Last Saved On: 2/27/98 12:01 PM COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED
